After finding success in Chandler doing what he loves most,
Seong Kang, owner of Mikado Sushi, decided to open a new location
and bring quality sushi to Ahwatukee Foothills.

Seong Kang opened in Ahwatukee in May but his first location in
Chandler has been open for eight years.

"The other location was very busy," Kang said. "This is a good
location in the Ahwatukee area and it's good sushi."

Kang, who is originally from Korea, has been making sushi for 14
years but he says he's always grown up around it. There are more
than 60 different rolls on the menu, all of which he says are very
authentic.

Since opening Kang says lunches have been a little slow but it's
common for a new business. Most of the customers, he said, keep
coming back.

Kang says he has a dream of some day opening a chain of sushi bars
with his wife, Michelle. For now, they're starting small and
spreading the word. Mikado's full menu can be found on their
website, mikadoaz.com.
